Chapter Ninety-Four: Heroes (3)

The city of Pengyang is close to Sanfu, the city is small, and the population is not large, Ma Teng is to avoid Han Sui's soldiers, so he has the base camp here. Most of the soldiers and horses of the imperial court in Guanzhong are placed in Fufeng, and there are very few soldiers and horses in Chang'an City, so there is no need to worry about the soldiers and horses of the imperial court coming over the mountains and mountains.

These days, there have been many more people inside and outside the city, and even the Yang family and Jiang family in Tianshui have sent people to Pengyang. A few days after the kingdom died, seeing that the civil war in Liangzhou was about to break out again, everyone seemed to be in a huge chaos, not knowing what the future would be, and suddenly heard that the princess and hussar general of the imperial court appeared on Ma Teng's territory, even those who disdained it would try their best to inquire about the news here.

A large open space has been carved out of the city, ready to be used as a place for tomorrow's martial arts competition. Several young men in strong suits stood together, looking at the soldiers and civilians who were busy preparing, and whispered something from time to time.

"Bo Yi, what do you want to do with such fanfare as much as Ma Shoucheng?"

The young man known as Bo Yi is a native of Tianshui, named Jiang Xu, who is seven feet tall and five, and looks very shrewd and capable. Jiang Xu laughed in a low voice: "What else can you do?" It's just a big banner and a tiger skin. The territory and troops in his hands are far inferior to Han Wenyue, and if he wants to confront Han Sui, of course, he has to pull more helpers. ”

The person who spoke before also said in a very low voice: "Then you see, in the next melee, is it possible for Han Sui to unify Liangzhou?" ”

Jiang Xu sneered, lowered his voice, and said: "Yishan, you are just joking, how can Han Sui be virtuous, why should he suppress the heroes in the state, just rely on his ability to assassinate the righteous brother in the back?" ”

The man who is called Yishan and Jiang Xu is a good family, growing up in the Jiang family, surnamed Yang, named Fu, the word Yishan, from Tianshui Yang. Yang Fu chuckled and said, "Of course I know that Han Sui is unpopular, but he has the most soldiers and horses now, if the Han Wen agreement is not successful, then what about Ma Shoucheng?" Is there a chance to mix a Western cool? ”

Jiang Xu said: "Didn't we come here this time to see Ma Teng's heart? We'll have to wait and see. ”

There was a sound of horses' hooves on the side, and a group of iron horsemen rushed over, and the knight in front shouted, "Give way to the side." ”

Jiang Xu and Yang Fu hurriedly took their entourage to the side, a little farther away. Chen Cheng ran around with dozens of cavalry, jumped off his horse, pointed to a place, and said, "Put the arrow target behind the white line, build a high platform here, and then draw the curtain around it." ”

Tomorrow there will be a martial arts competition, and thousands of people have gathered outside the city, Qiang, Han, Huns, Xianbei, Wuhuan, everything. He didn't want anything to go wrong with his first official appearance in front of the local heroes in Xiliang, so he personally planned the venue for the competition, and after he was ready, he checked it several times.

While he was busy, his heart suddenly moved, and he looked up to the right. More than thirty paces away, a white horse was digging its hooves. The man on horseback had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a broad face, although his face was full of the color of wind and frost, he was still majestic. This person is not Zhao Yun, who is it?

Chen Cheng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly pulled out his legs and ran towards Zhao Yun. As soon as Zhao Yun jumped off the horse, he was hugged by him.

"Zilong!" Chen Cheng was surprised and delighted, as if in a dream, "Why are you here?" ”

Zhao Yun smiled at the corner of his mouth and said: "After receiving the edict from the imperial court, General Gongsun asked me to go to Luoyang, but when I arrived, you were no longer there." Later, I inquired in many ways, and when I heard that you were coming to the west, I hurried and hurried, and at last we caught up. ”

"Hahaha, haha," Chen Cheng first laughed, let go of his hands, and then sighed again, "If I had known that those things would happen later, I shouldn't have let the first emperor send you to Beijing." ”

He sighed to Zhao Yun and said, "You shouldn't come here either." ”

Zhao Yun laughed twice, then took a few steps back, bowed to the ground, and said, "Minister Zhao Yun, meet the lord!" ”

Chen Cheng hurriedly helped him up and reproached, "What are you doing?" I am you, you are me, what are you doing with all this? ”

Zhao Yun said: "You can do anything in private, but in front of everyone, the king is the king, and the minister is the minister, don't confuse the upper and lower dignity!" ”

Chen Cheng's face gradually became serious, and he said, "Zilong's words, I wrote them down." ”

He said to Zhao Yun: "Now I don't have many soldiers and horses, so Zilong will be my main book for the time being, how about it?" ”

Zhao Yun clasped his hands into fists and said loudly: "No! ”

Chen Cheng became happy at this time, he pointed to the martial arts venue painted with lime, and said to Zhao Yun: "I plan to hold a martial arts competition here tomorrow, and feast the heroes of Anding County and the surrounding areas, and then feast the winners of the martial arts competition in the city in the evening." ”

Zhao Yun listened quietly and didn't say a word.

Chen Cheng turned his head sideways and asked, "Zilong, why don't you speak?" ”

Zhao Yundao: "I just arrived here, and I don't know what the situation is, so naturally I have to listen more and watch more and talk less." ”

Chen Cheng laughed and said, "Zilong is still so cautious. ”

He explained a few more words to the soldiers who arranged the venue, and then said to Zhao Yun: "Let's go to the county government first, and come back tomorrow." ”

When they returned to the city, Yang Fu whispered, "That person is the Julu Marquis?" looks good, I really can't see that it has the ability to cause trouble in the world! ”

Jiang Xu himself is also quite handsome, so he doesn't pay much attention to Chen Cheng's appearance, but puts it on the other party's mount. He said to Yang Fu: "That horse of his, the shoulder height is more than five feet, right?" ”

Yang Fu thought about it for a moment and said, "Almost, what a good horse!" ”

Jiang Xu stretched out his foot to crush an insect to death, thought for a moment, and asked, "Perhaps, the person who can pacify Liangzhou is Chen Huqi?" ”

Yang Fu laughed and said, "Bo Yi, you don't know, Chen Cheng is a person who is clever and natural. If he says that he will make Liangzhou chaotic, I believe it. If he can pacify Liangzhou, then I don't believe it. ”

Jiang Xu's eyes tightened, and he asked, "There is someone in your family who is an official in Luoyang and is well-informed, is there any news that I don't know?" ”

Yang Fu looked left and right, and saw that there were more and more onlookers on the side, so he said to Jiang Xu: "This is not the place to talk, you come with me." ”

The two went back to their quarters in the city, closed the door, and went into the backyard. Most of the Qianghu Haoqiang set up tents outside the city, but they were all Han Chinese, and they were still used to living in houses. Anyway, there are a lot of vacant houses in the city, and it is not difficult to find a place to stay.

After sitting down, Yang Fu said: "Chen Cheng was born in Wei County, and his father and ancestors are ordinary Zhuang families. After the defeat of the Zhang Jiao brothers, he joined Gongsun Zhan, and as a result, Gongsun Zhan was besieged in Liaoxi. Finally, after Zhang Chun withdrew from the army, he couldn't stay in Liaoxi anymore, so he ran to Luoyang, relying on the eunuchs attached to Afu, and soon climbed to a high position, and then the Son of Heaven was in his prime, and suddenly passed away........"

Speaking of this, Yang Fu shook his head and said, "..... After that, he fought with the general in Luoyang City, and after the defeat, he set fire to half of Luoyang City, and then fled all the way to Xiliang. ”

He concluded: "Where this man appears, there is calamity. Now that I'm in Liangzhou, I don't know what kind of big things are going to happen here. ”

Jiang Xu listened carefully at first, the expression on his face was very serious, but when he heard it, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly, he stretched out his finger, pointed at Yang Fu, and scolded with a smile: "Between you and me, why do you want to say these deceitful nonsense? ”

Yang Fu also laughed and said: "That's what is said in Chang'an City, saying that Juluhou is a traitor who troubles the world, and it is also said that he is the remnant of the Yellow Turban and the eunuch party, true and false, people don't know how to tell the difference." ”

Jiang Xu pondered for a while and said, "When I saw this person today, he was quite capable. Besides, with Yan Bodao running back and forth for him, the heroes in Anding County were quite heartbroken for him. I heard that Yan Zhong also called his nephew from Hanyang and is now in the county office. ”

Yang Fu thought for a moment who Yan Zhong's nephew was, and then said in surprise: "You mean Yan Xing?" He also came to Pengyang? ”

Jiang Xu said: "Yes, someone saw him enter the county office. ”

Yang Fu said: "If this is the case, then the next battle between Han Sui and Ma Teng, I am afraid that the victory or defeat is still unknown." ”

"Hey, if Han Sui defeats Ma Teng quickly, then we will be able to have a stable period of time in Liangzhou. If the war drags on........"

Jiang Xu shook his head and said, "If the war drags on for a long time, I'm afraid that Liangzhou will be troubled from now on." ”

Chen Cheng took Zhao Yun back to the county office, and Yan Zhongzheng told Liu Qian some customs and celebrity anecdotes about Xiliang, "...... Liangzhou has been a heroic man since ancient times, and in recent decades, there are three people who are the most outstanding, known as Liangzhou Sanming, namely: Huangfu Gui, Zhang Huan, Duan Xi ........"

Liu Qian was originally sitting on the futon, but out of the corner of her eye, she saw Chen Cheng walking in, her eyes couldn't help but light up, she stood up, and said crisply: "Juluhou!" ”

Yan Zhong spread his hands and said angrily to Chen Cheng: "Junhou, how can I continue to say it when you come?" That's it, it's better for you to teach her archery. ”

Chen Cheng said with a smile: "If you are familiar with Liangzhou, who can compare with Bodao?" I'm an outsider, Bo Dao, you're a local, if you don't teach her, who else can teach her? ”

He turned his head and said to Liu Qian: "Don't be rude to Mr., you must be serious when you listen to the class!" ”

Liu Qian smiled at the corner of her eyes, walked over and grabbed his sleeve, and said, "I know." ”

Chen Cheng flicked it on her head and said, "You say that every time, but you don't remember it every time!" ”

Liu Qian let out an "ah" and squatted down holding her head.

Chen Cheng introduced: "Bodao, this is Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong, who was once the horseman of the White Horse Yicong. Zilong, this is Yan Zhong Yan Bodao, a famous man in Liangzhou, who served in the army of General Huangfu Song. ”

Zhao Yun hugged his fists and said, "I've seen Mr. Yan." ”

Yan Zhong returned the salute and said perfunctorily: "Zilong has worked hard. ”

He immediately turned his head and said to Chen Cheng: "Junhou, Han Sui has sent someone to Pengyang." ”

Chen Cheng said casually: "It's normal for Han Wenyue to send someone." ”
